Anti Pirate Squadron Instructions 1627

Instructions

Notes on Pirates: Most of the piracies in Florida Keys waters were committed by pirate vessels based in the Bahamas and Cuba. While these pirates stopped in the Keys to take shelter from storms, to obtain water and fire wood.

While most of the pirate activity during the second major outbreak (1815—1825) took place in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, some of it spilled over into the Straits of Florida and the Keys.

In 1820, pirates robbed twenty-seven American merchantmen and brutalized or murdered their crews.

By 1822, it was estimated that nearly three thousand piracies had been committed in the seven years since the end of the War of 1812.
